Details:

Two files fail to compile on OpenBSD 5.3 due to errors from the gnulib
sys/time.h include file. This is almost certainly an upstream gnulib bug and I
will report it there when I have a minimal example, but reporting here to
track it for Octave as well.

liboctave/system/oct-time.cc:

The attached patch is a hack that gets around both of these compilation
failures and the rest of Octave compiles successfully.
